Abstract: (Springer)
Measurements of CP observables in B±^{±} → DK±^{*±} decays are presented, where D denotes a superposition of D0^{0} and D0 {\overline{D}}^0 meson states. Decays of the D meson to K^{−} π+^{+}, K^{−} K+^{+}, π^{−} π+^{+}, K^{−} π+^{+} π^{−} π+^{+} and π^{−} π+^{+} π^{−} π+^{+} are used and the K±^{*±} meson is reconstructed in the KS0_{S}^{0} π±^{±} final state. This analysis uses a data sample of pp collisions collected with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1 fb1^{−1}, 2 fb1^{−1} and 1.8 fb1^{−1} at centre-of-mass energies s=7 \sqrt{s}=7 TeV, 8 TeV and 13 TeV, respectively. The sensitivity of the results to the CKM angle γ is discussed.
